5 Reasons to Choose the Law Offices of Robert F. Shaw, Jr.

1. Trust & Integrity | Professionalism
that is Personal

Trust and integrity are central to each and every one of our professional relationships with clients. Clients understand and rely upon our genuine commitment and the care with which we assist them. Our entire legal practice, at every level, reflects our values and the trust and integrity that we facilitate and maintain. Genuine intention is the foundation of legal counseling that is characterized by forthright and thorough communication between attorney and client, attention to detail, passion and skill in the court room, and results that make a difference. Our word and our genuine commitment is our bond.

2. Limited Client Base | No Client is
Second Best

Maintaining
a limited client base serves as an integral aspect of our commitment to
providing legal representation of the highest quality. In the area of
litigation, we will not allow our client base of active cases to grow to a
proportion that is inconsistent with the high quality of representation that we
demand. If after review we determine that a case cannot be pursued by giving it
the personal attention and care that we require, we will either provide the
potential client with the option of having our office pursue the matter at a
later time (if legal time restrictions permit), or will inform the potential
client that we simply cannot be retained due to resources that are already
devoted to other matters. Whatever the circumstances, we most often provide
assistance to the potential client in their effort to find adequate
representation. In our view, profit to be gained from any case is not worth
jeopardizing our capacity to provide the legal representation that, clients
confirm, sets us apart. Our values give rise to this approach. Trust and
integrity demand it.

3. Open
& Thorough Communication

Consistent with the high standards
that permeate our legal practice, we pride ourselves in communicating openly
and thoroughly with our clients. Our clients are as informed as they wish to be
about their matter. The most prevalent complaints about attorneys concern the
failure to return telephone calls and the failure to communicate generally. At
our office failure to communicate is to fail in the attorney-client
relationship. In our view legal counsel and representation means more than
producing a needed document or advocating in court. Legal counsel and
representation must include informing and educating the client so that legal
principles and/or the legal process, often complex and difficult to understand,
is demystified and understood. Telephone calls are promptly returned. Our
clients are informed at every stage of their legal matter and participate where
appropriate. The personal care with which we undertake to counsel and represent
clients simply does not allow for perceiving, or treating, the client as one
among many. In our office, no client is second best.

4. Efficient Representation | Your
Interests Are Our Interests.

Trust, integrity and genuine care
result in efficient representation. Efficient representation means that the
client’s interests are clearly reflected in, and serve to guide, the manner in
which a case is approached. In accordance with this principle every client
receives counsel on options and opportunities for trying to resolve issues
without the need for expensive litigation. Our pre-litigation services involve
negotiation, mediation, arbitration and other means by which the prospect of
litigation can be avoided and disputes can be resolved. For clients facing the
crisis of being sued for money damages, this means placing the client’s interests above those of
the attorneys’ and resolving the case, if at all possible, such that the burden
of litigation and the costs associated with it are avoided. For clients who are
considering suing to remedy their injuries, every effort will be made prior to
engaging in litigation to accomplish those remedies. And of course, where a
client believes that litigation is essential for justice, litigation is the
forum through which justice will be sought. We are in the business of serving
the client. Service means that the client’s goals are our goals. Your interests
are our interests.

5. Aggressive, Skilled Representation
at a Reasonable Cost

We provide aggressive, highly
skilled legal representation at a reasonable cost. Vigorous, passionate representation
arises out of identifying with a client’s position and his/her needs and
objectives. Trust and integrity allow for true identification to occur. It is
not possible to advocate passionately on behalf of a client when an attorney
does not genuinely care about that client. The values that drive an attorney
will dictate the degree to which genuine care for a client and his/her cause
are present. It is more difficult for a jury to believe an attorney who does
not exude identification with the client and a passionate belief in what the
attorney is communicating. Thorough preparation at every stage of a case, an
ingredient essential for skilled representation, also arises naturally from the
care in which an attorney’s representation takes place. High quality, client-centered legal
representation is our constant goal. Our unique approach to the practice of law
allows us to accomplish it.
